To Blog, or Not to Blog?

“To blog, or not to blog, that is the question“, or that was the question, and one that I’ve now clearly answered after much deliberation, but How and Why?

How?

This was the easy one. After a general trawl around the web and much Stumbling, it became plainly apparent that the blogging platform of choice was WordPress.

I already had my own domain (www.richardfarrar.com), which I’d had for quite a while, however this was presently being hosted on a Windows server running ASP scripting (WordPress requires PHPscripting and a MySQL database). So…

Why?

Well, I’m still not exactly sure what this blogging thing is all about, but have decided to take the plunge anyway and make it up as I go along.

Over the years I’ve been guided and assisted in my journey through cyberspace by a plethora of information on the web, posted by many selfless individuals. So I guess this blog is an attempt to redress the balance and give something back to the web community.

Hopefully I’ll have something worthwhile to say. I certainty won’t be posting entries about my cat. Probably because I haven’t got a cat, but the principle would remain even if I did, so no fear if I get a kitten for Christmas…

Had to be the first to post I guess, love your new site and I’m looking forward to reading your articles. Having known you for many years I am sure you will be sharing plenty of information and views on many subjects. Looking forward to your next post.

Still in a state of flux at the moment, but some general internet / podcasting / web design / e-commerce / internet marketing stuff I guess together with a dash of social comment and maybe a side order of project management for good measure. Basically, stuff from my background and experiences that I can talk about without fear of talking out of my backside too much???

Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind and do a U-turn at a moment’s notice, buy a cat and do a daily blog on it’s bowel movements
